Lots of if what could be called "proto Bkack Metal" bands of the 80's liked early "Goth" music. We called it Deathrock back in the early 80's. My mom used to go,"How come all those girls maje like ciroses?" And I said"because they are hot!" 😂
@@MidnightVideo666 Haha, you do? Welp, I'm not sure it's entirely for a public forum. But I will say this, both bands were completely awesome. It was my first time seeing each and only time seeing 45 Grave. I was in the SLAM PIT for most of their set which was very hardcore fueled by Don Bolles incredible drumming and the rest of that very unique lineup. I was particularly blown away by 45 Grave and at that time I hadn't even heard all of their material and so hearing much of it live for the first time was actually very intense. The Damned was spectacular as always back then, got to see them many more times in the 80s, various guitar lineups but each time with the great Rat Scabies one of my all time favorite drummers and with rest of The Damned a huge influence. Dave's vocal performance on the entire Curtain Call was particularly memorable that evening. As was Wait for the Blackout, Shadow of Love and Street of Dreams.
@@badwickedworld I didn't go to that show but I had the flyer...it might even be buried somewhere in my storage still. I'm from South Bay (L.A.) and went to many punk shows from 1984 to 1990...mostly at Fenders in LB but also Hollywood/OC/Downtown LA. I have two crates of punk vinyl records that I break out and listen to once in a great while and a box of flyers that I collected during that time. I used to go to Zeds (LB), Peanuts (Lomita), Restyle (Hermosa) Vinyl Fetish, Retail Slut, Bleaker Bobs , Electric Chair, London Calling etc and grab two flyers for any punk shows I saw. One got plastered on my wall in my room and the other I saved. I distinctly remembered the Damned / 45 Grave flyer at Santa Monica though. Anyway, glad you got to experience and sounds like you had a blast. Cheers!
@@markraymond7235 Fenders ballroom was awesome (except for the skinheads). But saw so many great shows there I can't even remember them all, some of which included, The Dickies, DI, Adolescents, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, Adicts, The Weirdos and of course The Damned. I would have to find and go back through my ticket stub collection to remember all the shows. Also, the Olympic Auditorium and various small clubs around OC, LA and Hollywood. I was from Fullerton.
Incase anyone was wondering why the bad is called 45 grave, because somepeople do, the name, according to Bolles, derived from a mysterious button Cutler found at a thrift store and gave to Bolles for Christmas that said "WE DIG 45 GRAVE". Bolles stated that this needed to be the name of the band, and everyone agreed.
This band out valued all the blobois Heavy Metal Hucksters by 100 times, only to be ignored by the music corporations, the slime- sodden TRAITORS of "A&R" ---what pricks and hicks: THE 80s SUCKED, the philistines leeched and sucked out the life of the musicians who created unbelievably powerful movements like post punk, Goth or death rock, with an unparalleled sublimity in music with bands like 45 Grave, Factrix, Flipper, Christian Death, Tuxedo Moon, The Avengers, The Weirdos, The Minutemen, 100 Flowers, Man From Missouri, TSOL, and the sublime GUN CLUB with Jeffrey Lee Pierce only to be ignored for piles of fuming shit in boffo hairdos like Poison, Ratt, Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, Dokken , Cinderella, whatever assorted faggotry-on-the-fame-rag. Thank you Mary and everyone else...
I just recently bought a Gibson L6s mostly because Paul Cutler’s guitar sound in 45 Grave was always really tight and impressive sounding. I know it was his fingers as well, but the guitar offers something unique too. For those interested he often used a Musicman HD 130 combo amp. I don’t have one of those yet but I am looking.
@@johndoeiii6103 the Musicman hd 130 combo has a master volume So it does break up naturally but yeah maybe he had an mxr or big muff pi as well. The combo amp he often used was the little 2x10” version. Super loud head and underpowered speakers. 🔊🔊
Before Black and Death Metal, and every extreme subgenre, these bands were making dark, scary music.
Rozz Williams from Christian Death also wrote serious Satanic lyrics BEFORE King Diamond did...
Some of the things Black Metal bands do nowadays were done way before by the OG Goths and Deathrockers too
Influenced black metal directly through Celtic Frost.

I will never forget when I was 14 years old and saw 45 Grave open for The Damned at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1985.
Please give me that's information… i need it!

Sounds like we ran/slammed in some of the same circles then. LOL.

How did he get the cab driver sound that has to be fuzz isn't it?

I totally forgot about this ep I'm so happy to have found it again.
Dinah Cancer can scream at me any day!!!
They put on such a good show!
Death rock is just spooky punk
@Tanner Edge deathrock and horror punk arent synonyms
45grave mix the two tho.
Hello HERE FROM BRASIL 🇧🇷😎👌
Flea and Froosh brought me here!
Did they do this more times live than that gig in Cardiff??
@@conorsmith8551 They did! Rock am Ring 2004; Hyde Park 2004 and few more gigs but they aren't recorded.
@@mrd.2139 quality!!
666th like, NOBODY MOVE
🖤🤘🏻🖤
sexy scream
yeah
Agree
Where have I heard this before?
RHCP helped me find this. So great
Same
The only thing that could have improved this classic was MORE COWBELL!!!
The B side is way better
This is a normal issiue of singles. B-Sides are better in many examples.
All punk records sre this way
